An upper level trough off the Washington Coast will bring unsettled weather to the area into early next week, difficult to say how much precipitation we will receive over the weekend but cannot rule out some possible isolated showers. The GFS is showing us as being relatively dry.  Unsettled spring like weather continues into early next week with Wednesday looking like a moist day.
